My Age of Investment

   Chapter 1167 Forcibly touching porcelain

   Two days later, Lehman Brothers and Envision Capital announced at the same time.

  Envision Capital acquired Lehman Brothers' Asian subsidiary, Lehman Asia, for $225 million, with specific businesses including investment banking, fixed income, and securities brokerage in Asia.

   At the same time, the HKMA also announced the findings and disposal plan of the Lehman mini-bonds, which were acquired by the banks and securities companies involved at a 40% discount.

   As soon as this news came out, people came to the gate of the HKMA and also performed a street performance downstairs of the second phase of the IFC.

   Lehman Asia, Vision Capital and the HKMA are all in the same building.

  Xia Jingxing and Chen Hong are inspecting Lehman Asia, which has officially completed the acquisition, on the 34th floor.

   After hearing that there was a large crowd gathered downstairs, the two of them stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of an office and glanced down.

   Looking at the crowd downstairs that looked like a city surrounded by zombies, Chen Hong shook his head and said, "You're right, the HKMA's plan is not enough for the people to be angry."

  Xia Jingxing sneered: "Mr. Ren wanted me to get back 10% or 50% of the principal for investors, but I refused.

   This matter is thankless, and no one will appreciate it. "

   "It's good to refuse!"

  Chen Hong sneered: "Believe it or not, you announced your front foot to take over these mini-bonds, and the back foot investors will ask you to be fully responsible."

  Xia Jingxing pursed his lips and did not speak.

  Chen Hong is actually right, this is just a **** plaster, you can't get rid of it if you stick it on.

  Envision Capital is equivalent to just acquiring the financial license and personnel of Lehman Brothers, without all the past business and assets.

   But investors who "have no way to file a grievance" may not understand it, or pretend they don't understand it.

   As it is now, what if you are stuck downstairs in the building and ask Vision Capital to pay 100% of the bonds?

   is reasonable, there is no reason to speak.

  People only know that Envision Capital has money and has taken over Lehman Asia, so you have to be responsible for the mini-bonds.

  Even if Envision Capital ignores these unreasonable investors and does not make full compensation, most of them will suffer great losses in terms of reputation.

  People are too kind and easy to be taken advantage of.

  Xia Jingxing saw clearly how deep the mines were buried early in the morning.

  Perhaps there is no malicious intent at all, he just wants to recover as many losses as possible for investors and calm the situation as soon as possible.

   But Xia Jingxing thought of people in a bad way, and any danger that might be detrimental to him must be nipped in the bud.

   Therefore, he didn't sell Yi Gang's face, even if he didn't pay, he just spent some manpower, and he was unwilling to help the aftermath.

  Chen Hong retracted his gaze, folded his hands on his chest, leaned his back against the floor-to-ceiling windows, and said, "In one month, you have earned tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars on Hong Kong Island, you are a big dog!

   As long as you touch the mini-bond, even if you just make a statement or express a position, it may be interpreted in multiple ways.

   The media or other interested people make another coax, and you will be roasted on the fire.

  This social routine is too deep, and there is no trust between people. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, in order to avoid suspicion, he could only stay away from the mini bond.

   "Stop talking about this! Now that Lehman Brothers has also won, what are you going to do?"

  Chen Hong looked at Xia Jingxing with a smile, this time, Xia Jingxing did not forget him and brought him with him.

  Hanergy Group has not invested much, only 22.5 million US dollars, accounting for 10% of the shares.

   But the key is to participate!

   So Chen Hong and his team came to Hong Kong Island from the mainland to help.

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "How else can it work, I'll leave it all to you."

  Chen Hong shook his head again and again, "That's not good, you are the leader. The team and I are just here to help for a while, and eventually we will return to Hanergy. That's my career."

  Xia Jingxing felt that Chen Hong's words were a bit of a nuisance, but logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with these words.

   Thinking of this, he stopped joking with Chen Hong and talked about his own thoughts.

   "In Lehman's bankruptcy, more than half of the previous client resources were reimbursed.

  Otherwise we would not have won Lehman Asia at such a cheap price. "

  Chen Hong nodded, "That's right, it takes a lot of thought to reorganize the business and get on the right track.

  Take the investment banking business as an example, now Lehman is synonymous with negativity, who would want Lehman to assume the role of securities issuer? What if it goes bankrupt soon after going public?

   This is unlucky! We Chinese still believe this. "

  Xia Jingxing laughed, "It's true, even if we change the company name, people will ask around a little and think that all the people in it are Lehman's former team, so I don't think they will have a good impression."

  Chen Hong spread his hands, "This is also impossible. Vision Capital had no investment banking business before, and there was no corresponding team for replacement and replacement."

  Xia Jingxing shook his head gently, "There is no need to change blood! Lehman Asia's business has developed very well over the years, and the Asian team is still trustworthy.

   It is the New York gang who are really killing things. "

  Chen Hong said with a smile: "Understood, then keep all of them for the time being! Follow-up assessments will be conducted. If they are really good enough, they will not only be retained, but also reused."

  Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, that's what he meant, don't look down on this group of Lehman Asia employees, thinking that they are losers, but they are actually following the wrong boss.

A    soldier is a good soldier, but a general who commands a war is not good enough.

   "But then again, these 150 people have 150 mouths, and now they have no business, so let them rest like this?

  If we don’t get bonuses, if we only earn basic wages, even if we don’t lay off employees, some people will leave, and those who leave may be people who can really do things. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled slightly, "Who said they should be idle? The best way to integrate the team and resources is to move.

  Only by moving can we quickly find and solve problems.

   And now the best way to change the bad impression of Lehman Asia is to prove yourself again.

  Prove yourself through successful cases! "

   Chen Hong squinted slightly and looked at Xia Jingxing, "Do you have a specific plan?"

  Xia Jingxing was about to answer when Liu Xiaoduo suddenly pushed the door and walked in.

   "Mr. Xia, President Chen, something happened!"

  Although Liu Xiaoduo tried his best to keep his tone calm, Xia Jingxing could still hear a trace of panic.

"What happened?"

   "On the Internet, some people say that you will take over more than 10 billion mini-bonds, give Hong Kong Island investors a satisfactory answer, and at the same time be the first battle of Lehman's Asian business recovery!"

   Liu Xiaoduo started the computer on the desk while answering.

  Xia Jingxing and Chen Hong looked at each other, the latter's eyes were very strange, as if he was saying: Am I right?

  Xia Jingxing also felt pretty **** up, this was obviously a rumor, it meant forcibly touching porcelain.

  Liu Xiaoduo turned on the computer and logged into a website called "Mini Bond Rights Protection Mutual Aid Network".

   You can tell what kind of website this is by hearing the name.

  Liu Xiaoduo sat in a chair, constantly flipping through the messages and discussions on the webpage.

  Xia Jingxing and Chen Hong stood behind her watching various comments.

   "Finally waited until Xia Sheng shot, what I said, everyone is Chinese, Xia Sheng will definitely not die."

   "That's great! I heard that Xia Sheng and Mr. Ren of the HKMA have reached an agreement and will pay the HK$12.57 billion mini-bond in full."

   "What did you say about Xia Shengtu?"

   "You don't understand this? It's called Ximu Lixin, a thousand dollars to buy horse bones!"

   "In the future, everyone should invest in Xia Sheng's fund products. This credit is simply unreasonable."
